Thankfully you didn't take out any innocent people who don't deserve to be around your stupidity. Leaving the engine running when filling up?
It's like saying 99% of the time you never leave your loaded gun in the kid's room. Jeebus.

I didnt say 99% I said 99.9% thats 1 in a thousand I dont think anyone hear doesnt leave it running at least once .
I never had the pump stick in 29 years of driving, I was very suprised 
funny thing several people at the pumps just stood there doing there thing and hardly noticiced...Whats with that must be the hummer.
I did  myself 
I leave my rifle loaded all the time ,I dont have kids.
I do have them locked away when roaming kids like my brothers boys are over.
What good is a unloaded gun if you need it quick ?
I remember the days when everyone puled up to the pump with a cig lit and left it running.
I will tell the tale to the new group of drivers ed kids in september,I will admit to being stupid.

Nope. Never. And the AC, radio, etc. will work without the engine running.

Absolutely WRONG! The AC will only blow warm air when the engine is off. No fan belt turning the AC pump = no cooling. Still I wouldn't fill up with the engine running for numerous reasons. |

Re: I had a mishap at the gas pump
Years ago, before there was an H3, I had an Isuzu Rodeo. I was pulling my catermaran, on the way to the beach and stopped to get gas.. I had to go to the bathroom BAD.... I left it filling up on it's own..It was NOT running...as I came out of the can.. this guy comes running thru the store's door and says
"Theys a jeep out here..pulling two canoe and gas be going eberwhere!!"
That was my cue to run shut off the pump..Lucky I didn't burn the place down!

Re: I had a mishap at the gas pump
I had a sign at the gas station I owned that said customers were responsible for any cleanup. That much gas, I may have called HAZMAT if the person was an ass.
I have many stories from that business.  
I leave my truck running all the time when I fill up.
